Elf: Release? Not possible.

An expression of unwillingness to admit defeat appeared on his stubborn face. His four limbs were trembling slightly, but he was gritting his teeth as if he was still determined to fight. Pikachu's face also revealed fatigue at this time, but he was still looking forward firmly.

"Buyi~~~"

Finally, after a moment of confrontation, the expression on Ibrahimovic's face suddenly relaxed, and then his body fell directly to the ground, gasping for breath.

Xiaozhi heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this, and walked forward, then squatted down next to Pikachu.

"Well done, Pikachu!" Gently touching Pikachu's head, I felt that I had gained a lot this day.

Not only did he defeat Eevee, but he also successfully learned Iron Tail. Caterpillar evolved directly into Butterfree on that same day. This way, he was no longer afraid of going to Nibe City.

"Pika!!" Pikachu seemed very happy to have learned a new trick, especially when he defeated an opponent right after learning it.

"Ash, Pikachu, are you okay?" Misty also came to the two of them and asked with concern. Pidgeot and Butterfree also fell from the sky to Ash's side.

"It's okay, don't worry!" Xiaozhi responded simply.

"It seems that Pikachu needs to rest. Why don't you come to my place first? Otherwise, it will be dangerous if the Beedrills wake up." Seeing this, the warrior boy also came over, looked around and suggested.

"Okay, thank you!" Xiaozhi did not refuse. Pikachu was also injured and needed treatment.

"Wait a minute!" When he stood up, Xiaozhi glanced over there, walked to the still Eevee and picked it up. Seeing Xiaozhi's actions, the warrior boy had a higher opinion of Xiaozhi.

Chapter 46: Conquering Ibrahimovic

When they arrived at the warrior boy's house, Xiaozhi used a healing spray to treat Pikachu's injuries, and then took out the blue orange fruit he collected in the forest to let Pikachu replenish his strength.

Looking at Eevee who was still unconscious, he used healing spray to treat its injuries and gently stroked its fur. Perhaps it felt Xiaozhi's actions, and Eevee slowly woke up.

When I woke up, I found myself in the house. I squinted my eyes slightly, but didn't move. I just saw Xiaozhi through my weak vision and was treating him seriously.

Eevee didn't move at all, just looked at Xiaozhi who was treating him.

"Okay! That's fine." After a moment, after helping Ibrahimovic deal with his injuries and preparing to pack up, he took another look and found that Ibrahimovic had woken up.

"You're awake? That's great. This is for you. It can help you recover your strength." Xiaozhi didn't notice it when he was treating it just now. Seeing it wake up, Xiaozhi had a smile on his face and took two blue tangerine fruits and placed them in front of it.

Seeing this, Eevee looked up and looked at Xiaozhi, and the scene of Xiaozhi helping it to heal appeared in its mind unconsciously.

"Huh? What's wrong? Don't you like eating?" Xiaozhi looked at Eevee who didn't move and couldn't help but ask.

"Buyi~~~"

Eevee groaned and shook its head slightly, then lowered its head and began to eat the fruit. Seeing this, Xiaozhi couldn't help but smile.

"Xiaozhi, you are really gentle!" Xiaoxia, who was standing next to him, looked at Xiaozhi's profile and couldn't help but say in her heart.

"Huh? Is there something on my face?" After packing up his things, Xiaozhi turned around and saw Xiaoxia's gaze, and a look of confusion appeared on his face.

"Nothing... nothing!" Xiaoxia was a little flustered and didn't know where to look. She lowered her head guiltily. Fortunately, the warrior's room was dark, otherwise someone would have been able to see her blushing cheeks.

"I took a look and the Beedrills are gone. There should be no problem." At this time, the warrior boy also came over and said to Satoshi and Misty.

Fortunately, the Beedrill was calmed down by the sleeping powder, and it walked away in a daze after waking up. Otherwise, if so many Beedrills wanted to attack, his small house might not be able to withstand it.

"Huh... Today was really thrilling!" Xiaoxia breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that.

First he met this inexplicable boy, then Team Rocket, then a large number of Beedrills attacked, and then an Eevee appeared inexplicably and wanted to fight Ash.

Really, after getting to know Xiaozhi, she felt that the experiences of the past few days were more exciting than all her experiences in these years.

"Well! Then it's time for us to set off." He glanced at the time. Although he was not in a hurry, Pikachu had already mastered Iron Tail and Caterpillar had evolved into Butterfree.

I now have the confidence to face the Nibe Gym. There is no need to waste time, so I want to leave the Viridian Forest as soon as possible.

"Okay!" Xiaoxia didn't object. To be honest, she wanted to leave this place the most, but now she was not so traumatized by the insect Pokémon anymore.

If there is any shadow now, it is probably her sisters and Gyarados!

When the warrior boy heard that the two were about to leave, he did not stop them and took them out of the house. At this time, Eevee looked at Xiaozhi's back at the door and followed him out.

“Buyi, Buyi!!”

He walked over from behind the warrior boy, raised his head and looked at Xiaozhi with a serious look.

"Huh? What does it want to do? It's not going to fight again, is it?" Seeing this, Xiaoxia looked at Eevee's serious expression, as if he wanted to fight again, and couldn't help asking.

"Do you want to go with me?" Xiaozhi smiled, then squatted down and asked Eevee.

Although Pokémon cannot speak, you can understand their inner thoughts as long as you pay enough attention.

This Eevee had followed him here from Viridian City, and had also seen him train with Pikachu and mastered Iron Tail himself, which Pikachu hadn't even mastered before fighting it.

We can see the potential of this Eevee. At the same time, watching others train and learning is enough to show that it wants to become stronger. Maybe it thinks it can become stronger by following me!

"Buyi!!" Ibrahimovic responded with a firm look in his eyes.

"Come on!" Li Youran smiled after hearing the voice, then took out the Poké Ball and stretched it in front of Eevee.

"Buey!" Eevee responded, and Xiaozhi directly touched Eevee's forehead with the Poké Ball.

The Poké Ball was opened, and Eevee's body instantly turned into red light, and then was directly taken into the Poké Ball. Xiaozhi took the Poké Ball in his hand, and the Poké Ball shook slightly.

Boom! ! !

After a moment, the light on the button in front of the Poké Ball faded away, and a sound was heard, and the Poké Ball stopped shaking, indicating that the capture was completed.

"Is this possible?" The young warrior's face was full of surprise when he saw this. He had never thought of such a way to conquer.

He always thought that wild Pokémon could not be captured unless they lost their fighting ability after fighting. He didn't expect that Xiaozhi had just defeated it but failed to capture it, but now he captured it in this way.

Not only the samurai boy, but even Xiaoxia found it amazing.

Xiaozhi didn't care about their surprise and immediately threw out the Poké Ball. With a bang, a blue light burst out and Eevee's figure appeared again.

"I'm Ash, this is Misty and Pikachu. Please give me your guidance, Eevee!" Seeing this, Ash looked at Eevee and stretched out his hand.

"Buey!" Eevee also raised its front paws and placed them on Satoshi's palm. At this time, Pikachu also jumped off Satoshi's shoulder.

"Pika!!!" Pikachu also called out happily, apparently welcoming the new partner.

"Buyi! Buyi Buyi!!" Eevee looked at Pikachu and responded with a serious look.

Pikachu was slightly startled after hearing the voice, then he raised his hands, clenched his little paws, and his eyes became serious, full of fighting spirit. "Pikachu!!"

It seems that they are not only companions, but also rivals. Competition is not just for people, it also applies to Pokémon.

Chapter 47 Arrival at Nibi City

"If you want to go to Nibi City, just keep going along this side. If nothing else happens, you should be there in the evening."

After capturing Eevee, Ash and Misty prepared to continue their journey. Although it took quite a while, fortunately it was only at noon.

The warrior boy gave the two of them a ride and showed them a way. To be honest, no matter how clear the map is, it is not as good as practicing it in nature personally.

Having spent so much time in Viridian Forest, he knew the roads in Viridian Forest in much more detail than on the map. The road he pointed out was a different path from the one on the map.

It's different from the standard route on the map. Although it's a little remote, people can still walk it, and it's much closer than the route Xiaozhi saw on the map.

"Okay, thank you." Seeing this, Xiaozhi also thanked the other party.

"You're welcome. We are all traveling together, so we should help each other." The young warrior waved his hand in response.

"Goodbye then." The two also waved goodbye to the warrior.

Then they continued on the road to Nibi City. Watching the two people leaving, the warrior boy stood there and sighed. . . .

"Xiaozhi from Pallet Town is really an incredible guy. Who knows, he might become a great trainer in the future."

At this moment, deep in the Evergreen Forest...

Hoo ho ho! ! !

"Damn little brat, I will never let him go next time!" At this time, Team Rocket, who were still in the Viridian Forest, looked a little embarrassed after being defeated.

"This also proves that Pikachu is really worth capturing!" Kojiro clenched his fists and said excitedly after listening to Musashi's complaints.

"That's right, if we catch it and present it to Boss Itaki, we will definitely be promoted to cadres!" Hearing this, Musashi and Meowth also became excited and started daydreaming.

"By the way, although it's a bit embarrassing, at least we got rid of those Beedrills, meow. The little brat might have been taught a lesson by them."

"It's a good opportunity to teach that guy a lesson..." Musashi was unwilling to be defeated by Satoshi, and just as he was about to say something harsh, suddenly some dark shadows fell from the sky.

"Ah!!!!" Musashi was immediately frightened.

"This... isn't this Kon-kun? Fortunately it's not Beedrill!" Kojiro was startled. He took a look and almost thought it was Beedrill chasing him. Fortunately, he saw that it was Kon-kun and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Really? It's that little brat who made us so embarrassed. Now even these guys are out to scare us." Musashi looked around. Not only were there those hanging from the trees, but the big trees next to them were also densely covered with iron-shelled Kun.

Musashi kicked the big tree next to him in dissatisfaction and complained. The tree shook slightly, and the dark eyes of the Iron Shell Kuns around him were all looking over.

Boom boom! ! !

As soon as Musashi finished speaking, all the Iron-shelled Kun seemed to be angered. They did not expect that this was the Iron-shelled Kun's nest, and this was exactly the time of Iron-shelled Kun's evolution. They were stimulated by Musashi's behavior and light emanated from their bodies.

"I... I have a bad feeling!!" Seeing this scene, Kojiro said in a trembling voice.

"It's not good, meow! After Iron Shell Kun evolves, it will be..."

Buzz buzz buzz! ! !

In the light, there was a sound that made their hair stand on end. They were all very familiar with this sound. They saw rays of light exploding, accompanied by several screams. . .

“What a nasty feeling!!!”

"Hmm? What's that sound?" The young warrior who had just seen off Satoshi and Misty was about to return to his own hut when he suddenly heard a slight sound. He looked around, but didn't see anything and thought it was an illusion, so he didn't take it seriously.

On the other side, Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia, of course, had no idea what happened next. After separating from the samurai boy, the two of them quickened their journey. The sky began to change, and it began to become dim. It was already evening.

Fortunately, there was no problem with the route pointed out by the warrior, and in the evening, the two finally walked out of the forest.

"Look, we're here in Nibi City!"

Coming out of the forest, you are at a high point, from where you can see the entire city of Nibi.

This is a city full of gray colors. The first impression of this city is rock. It is close to Mount Tsukimi and relies on the rich mineral resources of Mount Tsukimi for its development.

"Huh! Although a lot of things happened, we finally left the forest." Xiaoxia also excitedly opened her arms to breathe in the new air.

Although I am no longer afraid of Bug-type Pokémon, there is always a sense of danger and oppression in the forest, which is heavier than when I am outside.

"By the way, Xiaozhi, are you going to the gym?" After taking a breath for a while, Xiaoxia turned her head and looked at Xiaozhi and asked.

"Well~~ Let's talk about it tomorrow! We've fought several battles today. Let's let the Pokémon rest first, and then challenge them tomorrow! Let's go to the Pokémon Center first." Xiaozhi took a look. Although he had treated Pikachu and eaten the blue tangerine fruit to restore his strength.

However, continuous fighting not only depletes the Pokémon's physical strength, but also their spirit, so I plan to let them rest first.

"That's true. Let's go!" Xiaoxia didn't object. To be honest, she was a little tired. Not only had she consumed her physical energy, but she had also been worried and frightened throughout the day. She was very exhausted.

"Haha! Are you planning to challenge Brock, the league-recognized trainer at the Pokémon Gym in Nibe City?" When the two were about to leave, they suddenly heard a voice, and it seemed that they could hear a laugh in it.

"Ok??"

The two listened to the sound and looked in the direction of the sound. A middle-aged man with dark skin and a red cotton hat was sitting at the bottom of the slope. There were several containers around him, with some rocks clearly marked with prices on them.

"Uncle! Who are you?" Xiaoxia asked puzzledly, looking at the person who suddenly interrupted their conversation.

"My name is Wu Neng."

"Wuneng? So what's wrong with challenging the Nibi Gym?" Xiaoxia could tell that there was something wrong with Wu Neng's tone, and she was a little dissatisfied.

Chapter 48: Martial Power

"The Nibe City gym trainer Xiaogang is very strong. It's not easy to defeat him." Wu Neng listened to Xiaoxia's words and responded naturally.

"I know better than you that gym trainers are very strong, but Satoshi is also very strong." After listening to Takeneng's words, Misty began to speak for Satoshi and suddenly told the truth without realizing it.

Xiaozhi couldn't help but glance at Xiaoxia. In the original work, she had been hiding her identity, and her identity was only revealed after she arrived in Cerulean City. But now Xiaozhi knows that she is a member of the Cerulean Gym.

So of course she was the one who knew best how powerful gym trainers were, but... Cerulean City was not considered a very powerful gym.

"Because I can tell at a glance that you are rookie trainers. I sell stones here and have seen many trainers. I can tell at a glance whether they are rookies or not."

"New trainers should practice more. It's impossible to challenge Brock right away." Wu Neng responded confidently and calmly, appearing very confident in Brock.

"Thank you for the reminder, uncle. But you seem to know Xiaogang very well! I don't know if it's my illusion! When the uncle mentioned Xiaogang, he seemed very proud, just like an elder feels proud when seeing the achievements of a younger person."
